Great stay for the price. The room was clean, amenities basic but they suit just fine. Strong enough Wi-Fi for me to take meetings, and check in/out were very easy. Free parking for all guests behind the hotel was perfect for what I needed. It’s in city centre and across from a club, but with earplugs I slept very well. Nearby shops, restaurants, and a great stay for exploring the region.

Very convenient for Carlisle railway station. The room was very clean and functional, although the temperature control didn't seem to work. The rooms at the rear are the quieter ones and will be allocated if available (and requested in advance). The choice of items at breakfast was very good. All the staff I met were very friendly and helpful.
